Breedings
Breedings are used to announce litters and present the pedigree of a pairing. A Breeding page can include parents, pedigree information, building blocks, and optional content like galleries or testimonials.
Info
Breedings can be used for dogs, cats, horses, goats, or any other animals. They are most often used to advertise upcoming or current litters.
Breeding page in Breedpost app.
Status
Set the status of the breeding (e.g. Published, Draft). Only published pages are visible on your live site.
Page Heading
The main heading for the breeding page (H1). This is usually the pairing, e.g. Bronco × Blue.
Tip
Keep the H1 clear and specific (Pairing + Breed is a good pattern), e.g. “Bronco × Blue — Labrador Retrievers”.
URL Slug
The unique path for the breeding page.
Tip
Use descriptive, lowercase, hyphenated slugs and include the year at the end for clarity and SEO. Examples:
bronco-x-blue-labrador-litter-2025ragdoll-luna-x-max-2024maine-coon-ivy-x-orion-litter-2026
Date of Birth
Enter the litter’s date of birth (if known).
Info
If the litter hasn’t been born yet, you can leave this blank or add the expected date.
Summary
A short introduction used on listing pages.
Tip
The summary is also shown in list previews, so keep it concise and clear.
Background
Select a background style for the breeding page.
Hero Section
A Breeding page can begin with a Hero Section, which includes your main heading (H1), introductory text, and an optional call-to-action. This gives the page a clear structure and ensures it has a primary headline for SEO and accessibility.
After the Hero Section, you can add whichever building blocks best suit your breeding page — gallery of the litter, testimonials, contact/application links, or anything else you like.
Fields include:
- Hero Image Type – Choose Single Image or Parent Images (see below).
- Image – Optional hero image (Single Image only).
- Hero Image Width – Control how wide the image is displayed.
- Hero Image Position – Choose the image position relative to the text.
- Background – Select a background style for the hero.
- Page Heading – The H1 (see above).
- Introduction – Introductory text below the heading.
- CTA Button – Add a call-to-action (e.g. Apply Now or Contact).
Hero Image Type
- Single Image – Works as before: one hero image for the whole breeding.
- Parent Images – Show both parents in the hero instead of a single image.
Parent Images
First choose the layout:
- Three Column – The text sits in the middle with a parent on each side.
- Split with Overlay Card – The two parents are shown side by side, with the text on an overlay card.
Then fill in the details for each parent:
- Mother Name – The mother’s name, shown with her image.
- Mother Image – Upload her photo.
- Mother Link Type – None, Link to Profile or External Link.
Repeat the same three fields for the Father.
Shown on listing pages too
Both parents are shown in the hero of the breeding page, and also on listing pages, such as the breeding cards.
Tip
Use Link to Profile to send visitors to the parent’s own page on your site, or External Link to point to a page elsewhere. Choose None if you don’t want the parent to be clickable.
Tip
The Hero Section is recommended on Breeding pages. It introduces the pairing, sets the tone, and can link directly to your application or contact form.

Building Blocks
Add as many blocks as you like below the hero — galleries, testimonials, accordions, lists, etc.
Pedigree
Parents
- Father – Select an existing sire or create a new one.
- Mother – Select an existing dam or create a new one.
Tip
Always check for existing entries first to avoid duplicates. When creating new parents, complete the minimum required fields: Status, Pedigree Name, URL Segment, URL Slug, and Gender.
Info
Once you’ve selected the father and mother, Breedpost automatically creates a combined pedigree for that pairing using their existing lineage.

Pedigree Options
- Publish Pedigree – Show or hide the pedigree on the page.
- Generations – Choose 3 or 4 generations.
- Design – Default (table-style) or Tree.
- Position – Place the pedigree at the end of the page (below building blocks) or at the top of the page (above building blocks).
- Display Thumbnails – Show images in the pedigree.
- Display Coat – Show coat information.
Tip
“Tree” is helpful for quick visual scanning; “Default” table is compact and suits longer names. If you use many images, enable thumbnails sparingly to keep pages fast.
